Something in the Blood – Honey Driver Mystery #1

‘The kick-off to Goodhind’s new mystery series – fast moving with a likeable
heroine and an impeccably rendered Bath background…’ Kirkus Reviews

First title in the Honey Driver Murder Mystery series based in Bath, England.

Honey Driver runs a hotel in Bath. She also collects antique underwear. As boss, she’s in charge one day and washing dishes the next, resisting her mother’s match-making attempts and managing multiple responsibilities – mundane, safe, and unexciting. Then one day things change. Honey lands the job of liaising with the police on behalf of Bath Hotels Association. No worries, she tells herself. Nothing will happen; then an American tourist goes missing and Honey is called in to help.

Despite the on/off hostility of her police opposite number, D C I Steve Doherty, she sticks to the task. In the process Honey finds out that there’s more to work than washing dishes, and more to murder than malice aforethought.
